Functions
Two levels of default parameter settings are used in the API
software— global defaults and command-specific defaults.
The VSID_DRIVE_ID_LIST and VSID_COMP_STATE_LIST
parameters require that two arguments be passed instead of one.
Two levels of default parameter settings are used in the API
software—global defaults and command-specific defaults.
• Global defaults for all commands are initialized at startup
and can be set or retrieved using VS_Global_SetFields
and VS_Global_GetFields function calls.
• Command-specific parameter defaults for Create Pool
commands are set with
VSCMD_CreatePool_SetDefaults. If
command-specific defaults are set for Create Pool
commands, they override the global defaults for all
commands.
The following fields can be retrieved from the status handle
after a successful Create Pool request:
• VSID_DRIVE_ID,
• VSID_DRIVE_ID_ENTRY,
• VSID_DRIVE_ID_TABLE,
• VSID_DRIVEPOOL_NAME,
• VSID_ERROR_CODE,
Tip
To override a default (global or command-specific)
parameter value for a specific instance of a Create Pool
command, the parameter identifier and the value to be
used for the parameter can be submitted on the specific
request itself.
